What follows is unmissable television – and Leanne will face the fight of her life to live another day.
Actress Jane Danson explained: “Harvey is a really frightening character who’s involved in this awful world and she’s fearful for her life.
“She knows that he means business and he’s not going to mess about. Leanne’s pretty savvy and streetwise but she knows a bad egg when she sees one.
“It’s pre watershed but within the realms of that it’s as serious as it gets and we certainly played it as her fighting for her life.”
And while Harvey does have the upper hand – Leanne will always fight back.
Jane added: “She’s got the nice flat now, the nicer clothes, she lives at the posher end of the street but that yappy, scrappy, feisty Battersby is still in there.
“He will always overpower her physically but she will definitely give as good as she gets.”
